Comment on The Religion Of Climate Conservation by Adam

Doesn’t seem to me that there was “retribution” – at least not that I’ve seen from the scientific community. I think climate change scientists are probably just baffled that their colleagues don’t see the issue the same way that they do. It would probably be a similar reaction if these 16 men signed an article saying they didn’t believe in the theory of evolution. When thousands of scientists (aka really smart people) believe something to be essentially a fact, I’m willing to trust them. I think the 16 dissenters are just saying that technically it’s not a fact yet – not that they don’t believe it.

Also, I don’t think being religious makes you less of a “true” scientist. Francis Collins’ work mapping the human genome is just as valid and factual as any atheists’.
